I’d probably try to just take an inventory of the equipment in the new gym, then design a workout from scratch that emphasizes alternating days between muscle groups. You won’t always find a 1:1 machine equivalent from most gyms to the next.
What is he, a religious leader now?
He was a good modeler and handicapper. His model happened to work well for the 2016 election. That’s it. He’s not a fucking oracle.
he chose to agree to be monitored and they chose to continue living with him” was uttered
That got me too.
“The alternative is that they could have rented a separate house while the breadwinner of the family was in jail. They agreed to it!”
Utterly absurd. I also think, especially for the 14 year old, that level of surveillance is itself a form of abuse.
Not to mention the fact that any reasonable person would say that its use constitutes a punishment in and of itself.
We need a standard for pretrial release where if any measure could, if taken in isolation, be considered punitive, prosecutors are not allowed to ask for it.
Prosecutors and judges really need a reminder of the concept of innocent until proven guilty.
The day her husband was released on bond, Hannah sat down with their kids and tried to explain how all of their devices were going to be monitored: The probation department would see anything they looked at on their phones and assume it was their father using the device. The constant surveillance had an immediate impact on the family, Hannah says.
And:
In near real time, probation officers are being fed screenshots of everything Hannah’s family views on their devices. From images of YouTube videos watched by her 14-year-old daughter to online underwear purchases made by her 80-year-old mother-in-law, the family’s entire digital life is scrutinized by county authorities. “I’m afraid to even communicate with our lawyer,” Hannah says. “If I mention anything about our case, I’m worried they are going to see it and use it against us.”
Any reasonable person would describe that as not just a punishment, but a pretty severe one.
And one that affects children. Having a teenager know that a person she never met, who she has no way to contact, is looking at her activity every minute isn’t just punishment in fact. It’s victimization.
Thus, I think we can conclude from this that the Monroe County, Indiana prosecutors office is victimizing children. Full stop. Time to make some arrests.
I think the DeVos family is probably doing just fine.
The irony is that he is the one who signed a law making mishandling classified documents a felony.
